Right so, started again today! Not yesterday. Plan to absolutely stick to it, even if I live off shakes! Might try to avoid the scales for a while! Until I know for sure it hasn't made me gain 7 lbs in one place! Thanks for the support Becky :) xx

Thanks :) Umm all I'm saying is that I find something I like, and quick! Made up the Thai soup for lunch just now and couldn't even swallow the first mouthful as it made me sick :/ so I've made the cottage pie...not too sure about this either, but Atleast it hasn't made me throw up! :)

Worked out my 7 day meal plan, simplicity. Trying to get the ones I'm looking forward to the least out the way first like cottage pie, vegetable and Thai soup, spaghetti bolognaise and chilli oh and the lemon bar. Had oatmeal for breakfast and can't work out if I like it or not...had the texture...

Having the oatmeal...what is this all about?? Was looking forward to it but it has the texture of smash!

Tomatoey sounds good to me! I read somewhere that the tomato soup tastes like tinned tomato juice...I have that by itself on pasta now! Hopefully it's true! I really wish it would hurry up, should be here in the next hour...wanna start ASAP as am hungry and don't wanna start another crappy binge...

Ah okay, really hoping it doesn't! Will put me off straight away if it does! Taster pack should be here tomorrow. Hope it has one of everything so I can see! Dreading cottage pie and spaghetti Bol as I don't eat them on a normal day. Hate mince! Am weird with texture! I will make sure I go into...

At the moment I'm having shakes bars and porridge. Have a load of meals and soup that are just gonna go to waste. Oh wells. It's harder to stick to something if it's not enjoyable! Looking forward to trying the majority of sns items. Can you tell me, quite looking forward to the chicken noodle...

I've been using one pair of scales but they're really different readings in my bathroom to my kitchen. Silly scales! I plan not to weigh myself until next week, so hopefully I stick to it! Back on the horse I go! :)

So day 8 and day 1 of getting back into ketosis. Weighed myself and was bummed by the results...gained 2lbs since Saturday :( so I'm now 16st 4lb. I did however weigh myself on another surface and it read me as 16st 9lb!! So no idea what's going on...took the lighter reading to make me feel...

Thanks for your opinion :) hopefully there's more of what I like in this than exante! X

Thanks Becky, hope you have a wonderful day :) Lynne that would make more sense howeverrr confession time...I managed to kick myself out of ketosis today :/ so technically from tomorrow would be trying to get my self back into ketosis so now technically it's back to being a week from Tuesday...

Thanks for your response. Have ordered the taster pack so we shall see what now did you prefer taste wise numpty mum?

Ohhh nooo!! When does it come out?

Thankyou! :) decided to skip this week and do it next week instead as I only found out my actual weight 2 days ago. Hope you have a good weigh in :)

Have decided to skip the weigh in this Tuesday and do it next Tuesday instead. Figured it's pointless and you learn nothing from a couple of days :)

Day 7, almost finished a full week! A little bit confused with ketosis though. According to the ketostick I'm definetly in ketosis but I'm starving! And I thought this went away once in ketosis. My stomach is all rumbly and it's making me feel sick :( First official weigh in tomorrow morning...

Same :) exciting stuff

So today was gonna be the day I bite the bullet and switch to s&s...but the cheesy pasta has disappeared! Anyone know why?

I agree! and now the weekly weigh ins can be something to look forward to (or maybe dread :p) hope you're well :) x

So far so good Susie! And you :) x

Thanks! You too Lynne :)

So day 6, one day off competing a week woo. Have woken up to a very very rumbly tummy :/ hopefully that passes as the day goes on. Looks like it's going to be a lovely day! Hello sunshine! Debating whether or not to have my first pack before work or wait til later. Have an hour to decide...

Awesome, I'll keep that in mind. Thankyou for the response and well done for lasting 9 weeks! The flavour choices on s&s seem so much better. Can hardly stomach anything but the bars shakes and porridge on exante. Have a good day x

Never had that but I'm sure I'd hate it! Thanks for the response :D

Awesome, thanks :)

Ah okay. So does the fact I'm only showing traces of it mean I'm just starting to get into ketosis?

I thought it was meant to be a darker pink? :/

Thanks :) Just did my first one and I have trace amounts of ketones ...can't decide if that's good or bad!

Uhuh :) Thankyou, you too :) x

Very exciting stuff! Went down to the sorting office just to see if my other parcel was there and it was! Now have my ketostix aswell, will use one next time I need a wee :p the tips of all the tester strips are 'negative' even unused. is this normal? Or should they be white? X

So it turns out my scales were with next door and it's another parcel I need to pick up on Monday. Anyway so just weighed myself! My educated guess was off by 2lbs...total weight is 16st 2lbs. So my original guess for weight loss was accurate. Will weigh myself every Tuesday morning and see the...

Dayyyy 5! Woke up 7 minutes after my scales were attempted to be delivered and now I have to wait til Monday to pick them up! Gutted! :( I'm sure the wait will be worth it though, excited! Hoping for another 100% day, feels absolutely possible after I've come this far! Eee hope all your days are...

Thanks luv2bslim :)

Honk :)

Ah okay thanks, will probably do that then! Thankyou, hope you're well :) x

Ah okay so either way it doesn't matter? Thanks :)

If I started on a Tuesday, would I do the WI on Monday night or Tuesday morning? Thanks!

That's why I plan on finding out as soon as they arrive :) Wow 3 weeks seems like such a long time...eek! X

Quick question...the WI, if I started on a Tuesday would I do the wi on Monday night or Tuesday morning?

That's what I was going to do but it would be nice to know what my rough starting weight would have been as didn't weigh myself before starting. Or for the last few years as it happens :/ anyway it's going okay...was very tempted to fall off the wagon earlier but refrained :) how about you? What...

Well I suppose if you are able to drop down 6st stone, another final stone would be a doddle! It Is a long long bumpy road ahead. When my scales arrive I will be able to see what my starting weight would roughly have been because I don't know...was an educated guestimation! Anything above 16st...

Thanks Lynne :D FinalStand it's not easy is it :/ but we'll get there eventually I'm sure. I'm aiming to lose about 5 or 6 st...hard to imagine me being 10st but I don't think it's a completely unrealistic goal! What about you? Good luck :D x

Day 4! Definitely convinced I'm in ketosis now! Have ordered some ketostix so I'll know for sure in 3-5 working days :p have also ordered scales! I decided I wanted to see the weight loss and monitor it. Just hope I don't get too obsessed with stepping on them! Feels like it's gonna be a good...

I attempted them by making the powder into a paste with a little water and thinning out spoonfuls on baking paper. Put them into the oven to brown and crisp. Mine turned more into biscuits as they weren't thin enough. And I'm sure you could blast them in the microwave. I put tons of tobasco on...

Honk :D

For a second I thought I was in ketosis. Haven't been hungry all day and didn't have my first pack til 4. But now my stomach is rumbling and I feel quite sick from hunger. I'm guessing I'm not quite there yet!

Does the vegetable soup taste like bouillon? I love bouillon but can't stand any type of vegetable soup so have put off trying it. Eek.

Just wondered if anyone made the transition from exante into slim and save and were the weight loss results any different? Is there any difference in weight loss between the 3 packs and a meal and the 4 packs? Any help appreciated :)

I wonder if the 'omelette' will turn out more scrambled egg.

Thanks guys :) on day 3! Expecting a busy day at work so hopefully that will preoccupy me. Not feeling massively hungry at the mo so will have to see how it goes! Woo x

So day 2 and am surprised I haven't fell off the wagon like the numerous other attempts! Makes me feel quite good. But my body is screaming at me to eat. Trying to ignore it! I made my OH toast earlier and toast had never smelt so good! Normally I'm 'the rat' that takes a bite out of a slice but...

Thanks Susie. Honestly I feel like crap right now but hopefully it will get better. Gonna drown myself in green tea and make some porridge x

Honk honk honk! :D

Thanks :)

Thanks for the luck! :) still yet to have third pack and not even hungry! Easy peasy (for now) :p xx

Thanks Darcy, thousands of people can't be wrong!

I refuse to keep stopping and starting because I have no real will power. This is it. I can do it! So I haven't weighed myself, as I want to FEEL the weight coming off instead of seeing it on the scales. Don't wanna revert back to my old teenage habit of weighing myself every couple of hours...

It's half 7 with still a pack to go. Not even hungry and have resisted all the good stuff at work. Yay.

So after looking on this forum I thought I'd check out the website. Once I finish exante I am Sooo Tempted to swap over to slim and save. Would I be able to have 3 packs a day without the additional meal? I know I wouldn't get all my RDAs but I wouldn't get them on a normal day without being on...

I've woken up with tons of enthusiasm, optimism and positivity. I can do 100% today! Starting off with making Thai chicken soup crisp biscuity things, will have to see how they turn out! Any other meal pack ideas and methods would be greatly appreciated. Hope you all have a wonderful day :)

I just got marigold bouillon from holland and Barrett. Tried in sainsburys but nothing. Can't wait to try it! I opted for the vegan one as it has less cals and fat in it :)

Thanks taupe. I guess I need to get the cravings and appetite under control. Won't cave in today that's for sure! Off to buy lots of sparkling water and bouillon! :)

This is technically the second time I'm embarking on this journey as the first time I lasted four days and was in a foul mood for the duration of it. Today is day 3 and it's going well so far I think! (I'm ignoring the 2 slices of pizza I ate last night as they came up straight away :/). I just...
